HOUSTON — The Los Angeles Galaxy and Houston Dynamo played to a scoreless draw Sunday, creating a three-way tie atop the Western Conference in Major League Soccer.
Donovan Ricketts made four saves for Los Angeles (11-6-12), and Pat Onstad had three for Houston (12-8-9) to help the teams match Chivas USA with 45 points.
Both the Galaxy and Dynamo have one match remaining, while Chivas has two.
Chivas plays at Chicago on Thursday before hosting the Dynamo on Sunday, and the Galaxy plays at home against San Jose on Saturday.
Seattle Sounders FC has 44 points with one match remaining, a home date Saturday against FC Dallas.
Los Angeles had a chance to break the scoreless draw in the 52nd minute after Edson Buddle pulled Onstad off his line. The goalkeeper deflected Buddle's blooper from 7 yards and Houston's Geoff Cameron cleared the ball off the line with a bicycle kick.
For the fifth consecutive match and sixth time in seven games, Houston finished with 10 men.
Brian Ching — a former Gonzaga and pre-MLS Sounders standout — was ejected in the 83rd minute.
David Beckham of the Galaxy was given a yellow card for tripping Ricardo Clark to start the altercation. Ching exchanged words with Beckham, earning a caution.
Ching then was given a red card for contact to the face of another Galaxy player, according to the Houston Chronicle.
"Stupid play on my part," Ching was quoted as saying in the Chronicle. "It was an intense game and I thought the ref dealt with it fine."
